That might not seem like much on the surface. In fact, this was one of the last things that I've tried on the lunch menu at IM JAI by Pun Im, as it just didn't look very interesting on paper. But I really liked the thoughtful little touches employed. In particular, they didn't leave any of those inedible fragments of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves that usually pervade tom kha pla, leaving only easy-to-eat ingredients in a delicate yet punchy broth. They complemented it with a salty fish sauce and chili dip as well as a gritty chili paste rice. This may in fact now be one of the first things on the lunch menu that I'll order again.
